Cosmo bleeds blue

--I'm pretty sure that's from a Cosmo movie. Or it should be...

Sooo... I am pretty darn happy right now. Scratch that, I'm pretty darn hungry. Dang it, I thought I had that the other way. Anywho, I just wanted to take a break from my normally 'eloquent' postings to let y'all know that I am of the utmost fortune to be able to play for the BYU Women's Basketball's Pep Band, AKA, the White (Women's) Band. I have missed this kind of band setting for a long while, and to be able to come back to the whole thing right now is what keeps me going through the weeks sometimes... Granted, I don't really know many people in the Women's Band, but I love playing the songs & just being there...

Okay, so I really must agree with all of the people that say that women's basketball is not exciting, because.... it really isn't. It's much lower scoring than Men's, but even with all of that, there's an overwhelming lack of enthusiasm from the crowd. Come on, people! If you come to the game, at least cheer with some sort of unabashed gusto to really try to help them pump up. I feel sorry for the girls that play this sport because they're so under-appreciated for what they do. Okay, so maybe it wouldn't be so lame if more people attended. I think so, at least. These girls are there doing their best, having fun, and how much more would they love it if a larger portion of the student body were to cheer them on? I really hope that the Men's team gets as many offensive rebounds tonight as the Women's team did-- that would be awesome. But, what I really wish would happen, because I think this would make the events more exciting to me, is if people would just get into it, be embarrassingly Cougar-ish, and started up cheers for the sheer enjoyment of it all. Win or lose, all that I want is for the audience to wake up from their food comas and pretend that they're drunk and think the team's the best in history of that day. Spice it, please. The band can only do so much, after all. the end.
